TE Connectivity names new chief legal officer as GC retires

Legal succession — Successor joins November 9; retirement effective March 31, 2027

TE Connectivity’s executive change starts a managed general counsel succession, with the successor expected before the incumbent’s March 2027 retirement.

TE Connectivity is a global connectivity and sensor supplier expanding around data centers, AI infrastructure, energy networks, and next-generation transportation; its latest operating updates describe strong growth tied to rising demand for data and power connectivity. This is a managed legal succession, not a strategic change. General Counsel John S. Jenkins is retiring effective March 31, 2027, while Jennifer A. Johnson is expected to join as executive vice president and chief legal officer on November 9, leaving roughly four months of overlap. 〔0〕 〔1〕

The transition design limits operational disruption. Jenkins will remain with TE as an executive legal advisor through retirement, preserving institutional knowledge during the handoff; the filing gives no indication of a dispute, abrupt departure, or change to the company’s broader strategy. 〔2〕

Bottom line: This is a routine leadership handoff in a non-operating role, with unusually clear continuity. It does not materially change TE Connectivity’s current business story at this point.
